Very nice bass. How far out were you guys fishing?

we were about a mile off of the north end of newport...

What kind of fish-o meter do you use?

SFB... just last year, we upgraded to a Furuno FCV620. we had a similar Furuno unit that was much older (which was very hard to part with as sometimes the older stuff is much better), but this unit is amazing. When fishing in <100ft of water, i like to use it in "dual frequency mode". this allows you to see two different size cones at the same time to determine whether fish/structure are directly under you or just close. With much practice, this mode allows you to identify where hard bottom meets sand/mud even without depth change. i rarely use "bottom lock" mode because it can only be used with one frequency at a time and i feel like it is less accurate on the whole. just know that without bottom lock on, that very small mark near the bottom could be a very quality fish.

Nice bass, sweet set-ups too.

thank you very much... each of these set-ups was a significant part of the paycheck, but opting to pay a little more for quality really pays off when you use them a lot. on our way out, my dad and i were actually talking about how far we have come on the equipment side of things. i remember when i was much younger, fishing with my dad out of a soft bottom zodiac, throwing worm kings at boiler rocks with $30 shimano fx spin set-ups. weird that that entire set-up is about the cost of some of the braided lines i use now. but the point is, it took us a looooong time to get to this point and we learned a lot about equipment along the way.

thank you... it really is special to see that much life all in one area... we almost got pooped on!
